The American Company Evolves Pump Technology for Optimal Performance and Energy Savings
In today's world, the environmental impact of any piece of equipment is an important aspect to consider. Saving energy preserves our natural resources as well as reduces operational costs, but it requires more efficient equipment such as pumps.
Ohio-based Gorman-Rupp has designed a new line of high-efficiency, limited solids-handling Super T Series® pumps that have boosted efficiency to a significant degree. The update includes a new impeller and wear plate that increases efficiency by as much as 19% and its shutoff head increased by 37% more than the previous standard models.
Available in standard materials of construction or fitted in Gorman-Rupp Hard Iron for more abrasive environments, the Super T Series continues to comprise of 2”, 3”, and 4” pumps so an upgrade is a simple procedure.
The 2” Super T Series pumps will pass through a 0.75” spherical solid and the 3” and 4” Super T Series pumps will pass 1.50” spherical solids. The maximum operating speeds have increased, expanding the overall hydraulic envelope for all three sizes. In response, Gorman-Rupp has developed a new line of High-Efficiency Super-T Series pumps to answer these increased demands.
In addition, the “D” hydraulic includes a slimmer, tapered 2-vane impeller with a smooth, tapered wear plate for improved performance. The “E” hydraulic is used for Eradicator Solids Management Systems to help clear away stringy material, rags, or wipes. “D” and “E” hydraulics are available for purchase from Hydromarque in all sizes.
